For those of you who may not know, meds can sometimes contain gluten as a binder. If you are unsure if your or your childs meds contain gluten, it is important to contact the manufacturer. My family has battled with this from time to time. Rian

Hey! We are located in Farmington, New Mexico. Looks like I am the most southwestern member here so far. Hope someone else is from the four corners area. Rian

Our family has never had any problems with mi del products that say gluten-free. I haven't ever noticed any part of the label that said anything about cross contamination, but I will be checking it out in the future. Best Wishes, Rian

Thanks rgeelan and everyone else who posted. Can you buy Emfamil Nutramagin in WalMart or Target or similar stores?? Let me know please. I am going shopping with my friend tomorrow to help her find a formula. Thanks, Rian

Thanks celiac3270, I hadn't really thought about flavors, but the list on the back of her formula container was as long as my arm, and there was a hundred scientific names rather than pronouncable names. I will check again and see if I missed something. I haven't bought formula since my youngest was a baby four yrs. ago. I was twenty then, and a whole...

Hmmm...Could her breastfeeding until a couple of weeks ago caused damage if he is gluten intolerant? Maybe that is why he is still throwing up? There were a couple of hydrogenated things on the label too. I know that that is a process that the celiac community has deemed as ok, but our family has majoy sensitivities to hydrogenated oils. Any info. is...

We know a couple with a two month old son who has been chronically throwing up his breastmilk since birth. The doctor diagnosed him with reflux, but the meds(zantac syrup and metoclopramide-hcl) the dr. prescribed, have not lessened the vomiting. He vomits after every feeding. His mom recently quit breastfeeding, due to lack of sleep and exhaustion of...

I make chicken nuggets for my family a lot. We use buttermilk. I cut the chicken into cubes and then roll them into buttermilk. Then I roll them into rice flour seasoned with Mrs. Dash grilling blends chicken seasoning and garlic salt then deep fry. They are great and our girls love them. Rian

a negative biopsy doesn't mean no celiac? I know I sound a bit simple since I have been posting on here for a couple of months, but I haven't heard of too many neg. biopsies equaling celiac or did I miss that? My mom was diagnosed with diverticolitis and shows all the signs of celiac but since she had a biopsy that was neg., she decided she can't possibly...

I am constantly asked if we are on Atkin's too. I can't believe people can look at my daughters and think I'd have them on a diet. They are six and four and are both slender built. I just think sometimes that I will say yeah they just lost fifty pounds apeice and see what their reaction will be. Duh? Some people..... Rian

Hi Cindy, we use Litehouse brand Ranch dressing and also Daisy brand sour cream and Kraft cheese. Also, we use velveeta, just in case you wanted to know. Hope this helps. Rian

Hey celiac3270, when did you get all of the limited stuff on top of the celiac stuff. I jus noticed that under your signature on your post. Rian

We use Arm and Hammer Baking soda and Clabber Girl baking powder and do fine with both. You can always check with the manufactureres though. Good luck with trying out the recipes. Rian

For a fun bday cake in the shape of a lady bug, mix cake ingredients in a mixing bowl, then place batter in a greased medium glass pyrex bowl except for just enough mix to fill one muffin hole in a muffin tin. Bake cake in the bowl and while it is cooling, bake the single cupcake (without paper, just grease the hole first). After both are baked and cooled...

Hey Jill, we do a completely gluten-free Thanksgiving every year. If you want any recipes, just let me know. We always make a cornbread stuffing that is so amazing, gluten-free pumpkin pie and cherry pie, gluten-free Turkey (cause you have to check ingr. on those too), cranberry sauces are also safe, also we have some great gluten-free rolls. Just let...
